Over on the game sales spoiler website, better known as The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, there appears to be word of a brand new edition of Sega’sSonic the Hedgehogcompilation,Sonic Origins, which first launched on PC and consoles back in June 2022.
The Korean ratings boardhas released a new listingfor the as-yet-unannouncedSonic Origins Plus,which applied for registration back in late December 2022, before receiving approval in January of this year. The title, much like previous releaseSonic Mania Plus, is expected to feature the original Sonic Origins compendium along with currently unspecified new content. Back in 2018, Sonic Mania Plus added two additional characters — Mighty the Armadillo & Ray the Flying Squirrel — along with expanded multiplayer options and a brand-new mode.
Sonic Origins, released in part to celebrate thefranchise’s 30th anniversary, is a compendium of the first four titles in theSonic the Hedgehogseries. The release includes Sega Mega Drive classicsSonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, andSonic 3 & Knuckles.In addition, the title features an array of new features including Mirror Mode, Anniversary Mode, and a chronological “story” campaign, that sees the player run through all of the titles as a single adventure, smoothly transitioning from title to title.
